GPA is so low as a result of a semester consisting of 12 failed credit hours (4 classes) and after that making Dean’s List (>3.7) all 6 semesters until graduation. Wrote an addendum for it.

Admitted to Southern Methodist UniversityThe road to Hell is paved with good intentions
(1/14): Accepted to top choice of Yale in early January, withdrew majority of other applications, maintaining only schools that I would consider attending with a full scholarship.
I wish I had studied for the LSAT more - never doubt what you are capable of! And fill out all “Why X” essays!
IDK but my cycle was pretty hard. Anyways hopefully your’s won’t be so bad. Only landed instate schools but thats understandable I guess a 172 is a dime a dozen for KJD.

Study with LSAT Demon, apply to a lot of schools, consider the total cost you’re paying not just the scholarship amount.
Don’t submit your application to your first choice school first. You will probably notice minor errors and areas for improvement as you submit other applications.

everything will work out like it’s supposed to—do yourself a favor and don’t check your status every 20 minutes like I do, your mental health will thank you :))
Use 7Sage, LSAT Demon, Spivey Consulting, and Dean Z resources. They are all amazing and together combine for the most effective and complete admissions advice.
My two cents: Apply far and wide if you can afford to do so. I had several surprises in my application results and was grateful that I applied to many schools.
All apps were sent in February! Took the January LSAT. Shoot your shot because you never know how it will turn out! Best of luck to all future applicants!!
Don’t wait until January to apply to schools! I am purely a stats-based applicant. My cycle would turn out better if I wasn’t 20 and had work experience.
Know yourself and shoot your shot(s).
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard! Whatever your goals are, keep consistently striving — you’ll end up further than you think. :)
If you are waitlisted at a school (and really want to get in), GO TOUR THAT SCHOOL AND KEEP SENDING LOCIs (without annoying them of course).
